ACPP / Straws
Paper straws fail at minute four and everybody knows it. Ours hold structural integrity through a whole cold drink — the only sustainability feature a customer actually notices while they are using it.
Firm to the last sip · BPI Certified
The line
Diameter matters more than most buyers expect: a straw that is too narrow for the drink is the single most common cause of complaints at the counter.
Milkshakes & soft drinks
The widest straw that still fits a standard lid cross-slot. An 8 mm diameter moves a thick shake without the customer working for it, and the extra length clears the rim on a 22 oz cup.
Bubble tea & tapioca pearls
A 12 mm diameter, sized so tapioca pearls travel instead of jamming halfway up. Fewer straws fit per case precisely because the wall and diameter are larger — that is the trade, and it is the right one for boba.
Soft drinks & iced tea
The everyday straw for fountain drinks, iced tea and iced coffee. It is the highest-turnover line on the list, so it is the one most operators quote first.
Spirits, espresso tonic & short glasses
Short enough to sit correctly in a rocks glass or an espresso tonic instead of tipping out. Same 6 mm diameter as the standard, cut to bar length.
Specification
Every master case holds eight inner cases. Confirm figures against the current production run before you print anything.

Inches first, metric in brackets. Diameter is quoted in millimetres because that is the industry convention for straw sizing. Tolerance ±1 mm. Every master case holds eight inner cases.
How it’s built
The straw is in your customer’s hand for the length of the drink. It is the cheapest piece of media you own — and the fastest one to embarrass you.
BPI Certified
Wound paper with a PLA lining, certified by BPI against ASTM D6400 / D6868 and listed publicly under American Choice Paper Products. Verification you can look up rather than take on trust.
Full disclosure
We tell you the paper, the adhesive and the PLA lining by name before you order. If a supplier will not do that, you already have your answer.
Under 100 ppm
BPI certification sets a hard limit on total fluorine as a condition of the licence, so the PFAS question is answered by the same third party that verifies compostability.
Hot + cold
Firm from the first sip to the last. No collapse at minute four, no fibres in the final mouthful — run a case through a full service shift before you commit.
Custom print
The wrapper is the first thing a customer touches and the last thing they throw away. Ours already carries the BPI mark and the disposal instruction — yours can carry your logo next to it.
The rest of the range
Buying straws, cups, bags and wrapping from four suppliers means four spec sheets and four chances to print something you cannot defend.
